The new update includes a fix for gravity for vehicles and spawned items on planets. Now players should see less floaty stuff. Also, multiplayer sessions where players are on different planets should be much more stable. Check out full changelog here.

According to the developers, the upgrade to the Wwise audio engine has caused some unforeseen situations where music does not trigger properly. Also, our migration to Unreal 4.15 has caused some issues with base conduits. Both issues will be fixed in next update.
